Raelians ask: Why so much hate in Independence Day sequel?

LAS VEGAS, July 22- According to a statement released by the International Raelian Movement, Raelians worldwide have protested against the anti-extraterrestrial message conveyed in Rolland Emmerich’s new movie, “Independence Day Resurgence.” At many showings, they handed out flyers to counter the impression of aliens conveyed by the film: one of utterly ruthless beings bent on destroying humanity.

“A peaceful extraterrestrial civilization is willing to meet with us,” said Raelian Guide David Uzal. “For over 40 years, they have been asking for that meeting, but the only response has been mockery and denial.”

The message of the new movie is the same as that of the original “Independence Day” 20 years ago, Uzal said, adding that he led a similar protest in New York City at the time.

“Rael, founder of the Raelian Movement, tells us there’s a 99.5 percent chance humanity will destroy itself, and that extraterrestrials will have nothing to do with that!” Uzal said. (See www.elohimleaks.org). “They might actually be keeping that from happening, for as Rael explains, they created all life on Earth.”

He said UFO sightings over areas with dangerous nuclear activity, including Nevada, Chernobyl, and Fukushima, indicate that extra-terrestrials have prevented catastrophes.

“Our extraterrestrial creators, known in ancient Hebrew as the Elohim, might have started preventing irreversible destruction when atomic energy was first used,” Uzal explained. “With the first atomic bomb used over Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 – which is when the Raelian calendar begins – humanity entered the era that makes its total destruction possible. It’s irresponsible to assume that destruction will come from outer space; we might destroy ourselves before we turn into a dangerous, interplanetary civilization.”

As Rael explains, once a civilization has space travel capacity, it’s also capable of destroying all life on its own planet.

“Either peace, brotherhood, love, compassion and femininity prevail, or self-destruction occurs,” Uzal said. “It’s like an immune system principle that keeps peace in the inhabited universe.”

So do we project human behavior onto extraterrestrials?

“Movies like ‘Independence Day’ project our wrongdoings onto others and rationalize predatory behavior as natural and universal,” Uzal said. “The truth is that only kind civilizations survive in the infinity of space!”
